an old Arab saying that Iraqis like to quote when talking about another US war
against their country: "The wet man is not afraid of the rain."
talk of war dominating every conversation in the days just prior to the US
decision to move ahead with invasion plans despite a lack of sanction, men told
stories of their time in the Iraqi Army during the first Gulf War, against
Iran. "I went there almost unable to grow a beard and I came back with a
head of gray hair," said Ahmed, who spent seven years on the frontlines of
the bloody eight-year war between Baghdad and Teheran. (As with all the
ordinary Iraqis quoted in this piece, his name has been changed.) Almost every
Iraqi household lost someone in the war. They had only two years to struggle
for a return to any semblance of a normal life when Iraq invaded Kuwait,
sparking the second Gulf War, which took the lives of more than 200,000 Iraqis.
The rest, as one Iraqi put it, was "our well-known destiny."
know war too much. With wars I am like Sylvester Stallone, like Rocky. We had
too many sequels. We don't need another," said Mohammed, whose days are
now consumed by sleep and his nights by listening to shortwave radio.
official line from the Iraqi leadership is that every citizen will resist an
attempted US invasion. The government has been staging regular military parades
in cities across Iraq. Saddam Hussein, once the guest of honor at such events,
has not appeared in public for years. Instead, the red-mustached Vice Chairman
of the Revolutionary Command Council, Izzat Ibrahim, sits on balconies above
the parade grounds, saluting the soldiers as they march past.
carry unloaded Kalashnikovs, others are dressed in white Hezbollah-type garb
with fake sticks of dynamite strapped to their chests. Members of the volunteer
Al Quds (Jerusalem) Army, originally formed to "liberate" Jerusalem,
have pictures of Saddam taped to their chests. Women in black hijab march in
unison, some throwing mint candies on the ground. At times, the marches
resemble a children's Halloween parade. Indeed, there are children's divisions.
But the faces of the ordinary army soldiers in these parades tell a sad tale.
They look tired, nervous and beaten down. Commanding officers shout orders at
the men to keep in step.
ago, when a US attack seemed like an event far in the distance, people spoke
enthusiastically about "fighting the Americans." But the war quickly
grew imminent and the people knew it. Panic set in.
forces have dug large pits in areas throughout the capital, some of them as
deep as four to five yards. Foreign diplomats and Iraqi officials say the holes
will soon be filled with oil. The point, they say, is to torch them at the
onset of attacks to create a black cloud over Baghdad to confuse laser-guided
munitions. Also, many Iraqis say they have heard that the army will dump oil
into the Tigris River, which stretches past the main presidential palace and
several key government buildings. As with the pits around Baghdad, the plan is
to set fire to the Tigris to shroud the center of power with thick black smoke.
the past several weeks, Baghdad's streets have gotten a bit barer. Many Iraqis
have left the capital for homes in rural parts of the country or for Syria or
Jordan. Through shortwave radio or relatives abroad, they've heard the reports
of 3,000 missiles hitting Baghdad in the opening days of war. Some people speak
of wanting to escape what they think will be a carpet-bombing; others say they
are going there to wait. "Many of us are stockpiling petrol so we can
leave Baghdad. Iran is very close, and we hear they will have camps there and
everything. If America tells us to leave Baghdad, we will leave and wait,"
said Ali, an older Iraqi.
people are not just fleeing the capital because of the expected American
onslaught. In totally separate conversations, several Iraqis said they also
fear that Saddam Hussein will use chemical or biological weapons if his
government is rapidly disintegrating. Some cited this as a primary reason for
leaving urban areas. "We have heard him say that if he goes, he will turn
all of Baghdad into dust, into a desert," said a Baghdad man, moving his
fingers as though sifting through sand. Several Iraqis repeated versions of
this story on different occasions. "We've seen it before," said a
Sunni Muslim who fought in the Iraqi Army against Iran. "We don't know
what he has but we know who he is." His friend interrupts him. "You
wouldn't even be saying this if it weren't for the American threats. Even if
Saddam gasses us, it will be Bush's fault. It will be because of America. He
wouldn't do it if there wasn't a war. Maybe Bush wants that."
Iraqis who expressed fears of chemical or biological weapons said they didn't
fear they would be used against US forces, but against rebellious Iraqis.
Several people in Baghdad predict widespread unrest in the vast, overcrowded
slum neighborhood of Saddam City in the event of war. "It's 90 percent
Shiite. There will definitely be problems there," said an Iraqi Shiite
Muslim. "Saddam doesn't love Shiites. He doesn't love Iraqi people. He
loves himself, his friends, his family. He doesn't love us." After the
Gulf War, Baghdad did not fall victim to the antigovernment uprisings that
spread across southern and northern Iraq. This time around, the inverse could
occur, with rural Iraqis largely staying in their homes while Baghdadians
rebel. Many Iraqis speak of the specific Baathists they are going to go after
once they get the chance.
southern Iraq, people predict that the ordinary army will remain in their
barracks or simply desert. Kamil, a Shiite Muslim living in Baghdad who has two
sons in the army in the south, says, "I tell them, if the war comes, don't
fight. When you get your chance, keep your gun and come home."
it's twenty years of unending war and sanctions; perhaps it's the tremendous
repression; likely, it's everything together, but Iraqis want it all to end.
They are exhausted and, most of them, miserable. In the early stages of the
imposition of the US-led sanctions against Iraq, US officials made clear that
Iraqis would be made to suffer until Saddam Hussein was no longer in power. The
last decade has represented one of the most brutal campaigns of targeting
innocent civilians to achieve Washington's policy aims. The constant bombing,
the massive shortages of medicine, the rapid decimation of a once-proud middle
class, the tens of thousands of innocent children withering away in filthy
hospital beds, the unclean drinking water, the total dependence on the
government for food, have all made ordinary Iraqis pay an incredible price for
a government over which they have no control.
the current crisis has brought to the surface a vibrant political debate. Some
Iraqis say they will fight the Americans "even with sticks," some
that they hope for a coup. Others say they will remain in their homes through a
crisis and see how the chips fall, and still others, that they would welcome
change at any cost.
the comments are whispered, but sometimes they are spoken quite publicly. A
taxi driver polishing a car is asked by a foreigner, "Is that a new
car?" "No," says the driver in clear English. "I will get a
new car after the war. I'm going to take a Mercedes from Saddam Hussein's
palace." On a crowded street in Baghdad, an old Iraqi man looks around
before saying, "I'll tell you something you probably aren't allowed to
hear: We want him gone." The man says that thirteen years ago, he was a
trader with businesses in Kuwait. "His invasion ruined me. I don't care
who comes in here. Anyone is better than this bastard."
is also a sense that people are fed up with the psychological pressures and
threats they have lived under for decades. Several people tell of incidents in
which even their children got them into trouble. One man told a story of his
8-year-old son telling his teacher, "My daddy is smarter than the
told you that?" the teacher asked the boy.
night the teacher called the house to "warn" the family against
teaching children the "wrong" things.
of us live our lives with a razor blade caught in our throats," said an
older Iraqi man, as his son tried to stop him from continuing his statement.
"We can still breathe, but if we pull the razor out we die. If we push it
down our throat we die. This is our life."
has turned us all into liars," said a veteran of the Iran-Iraq war.
"You know, when we go to the mosques and pray, we cannot even trust the
man kneeling next to us." Iraqis speak of an extensive network of Baath
Party informants in every neighborhood. They report to the party on the views
and activities of their neighbors. Some Iraqis join the party just to alleviate
the misery. Others endure, saying they couldn't live with themselves if they
joined. "My personal independence is all I have left," said a Baghdad
is no question that hatred of the US government is strong in Iraq, regardless
of what people think of Saddam. And few accept that America has any right to
overthrow the Iraqi government. Iraqis have seen what occupation looks like,
both through British colonization of Iraq and through the lens of the
Palestinians. "We don't want Saddam, but that doesn't mean we want
America, either," said Mazen, an unemployed engineer. He said his father's
name is Jihad. The name, Mazen said, was given because his grandfather fought
against the British colonialists in the 1920s. "It's in my family blood.
We will not accept a foreign invader or occupier, even if it damns us to more
years under an Iraqi dictator. At least he is one of us."
even those people who would welcome a US victory over Saddam are concerned
about what might come after. People across the map say they fear a civil war
that would pit the surviving Baathists and loyalist forces of the regime
against masses of angry civilians and disaffected army deserters. Some
Christians say they also fear that Islamic fundamentalists will attack them.
Over the past twelve years, Iraq has seen a rapid desecularization of its
society, and Islamic groups hope to replace the Baathist government with an
Islamic state. "You know why we Christians want Saddam to stay in
power?" asks a restaurant owner in Baghdad. "Because he is protecting
us from radical Muslims. He always has done this, and if he goes, we are afraid
what will happen to us."
saddest stories of all here are the people who believe that a US war will
result in an immediate and qualitative change in the conditions under which
they currently are forced to live. For many, hope is the only thing they have
left. Without it, there would be no point in continuing. They have been told
that if the proverbial "He" goes, everything will change. And, as
humiliating as it is, some have now chosen to believe it.
Iraqis are even aware--though it has been stated quite publicly by officials in
Washington--that George W. Bush doesn't want a change of regime in Iraq, he
wants a change of president. Few are aware of the acknowledgment by the UN in
internal documents that a "new" regime will retain most of the
current agents of repression; that many of the current apparatchiks will remain
in their positions.
the past decade, well-paid think-tank pundits, expensive PR firms and US
policy-makers through successive administrations have worked hard at preparing
the grounds to make America the great liberator. All the while, they have
ignored, denied, dismissed the unending punishment they have wrought on
countless thousands of innocent Iraqis, laying all the blame at the feet of
their once convenient ally, Saddam.
if some Iraqis celebrate in the streets if Saddam's government is brought down,
it will reflect no success of US policy. It will simply represent a violent end
to a horrifying chapter in the vast, unfinished book of Iraq. It will be the
fruits of a merciless economic and military war waged against the innocent for
twelve years. Regardless of what happens, it is the ordinary Iraqis--the
doctors, the engineers turned taxi drivers, the shoeshine boys, the mothers and
fathers--who should be praised for having found the will to live and the will
to survive a heartless war waged against them by a superpower and a tyrant.

In October, 2003, one hundred ninety teams began competing in fourteen regions in the 54th Annual National Moot Court Competition, co-sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. In December, twenty-eight teams received invitations to the national finals. By last Thursday night, only two teams remained to argue for the national championship.
Please join adjunct co-advisor Kristin Sankovitz and Prof. Brad Clary in congratulating third-year students Nathaniel Hobbs, Devon Mickelson, and Todd Sorensen on the winning of the Kathryn and Bernard Newman Bowl as the number two team in the nation. Nathaniel Hobbs received an American College of Trial Lawyers prize for being the second best advocate in the national championship oral argument.
This year marks the eleventh time in the last twenty-two years when a team from the U of M has been invited to the national finals.

Burnout RevengeScore: 9.4 / 10
Internet tells me that New Jersey, my current state of residence, has the highest population density of
anywhere in the country. Naturally, this spells for lots of cars in
places where lots of cars should not be. Every day, I drive home from
work, and am stuck in innumerable amounts of traffic on that hideous
beast known as the Garden State Parkway. Every once in awhile, I get that urge to just slam the gas pedal and
ram into every car in sight. Not for the sake of accomplishing anything.
Just for the sake of being a jerk, really. Though I've not conducted any
scientific studies of any sort, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume
I am not the only person who feels this way. Most
video games are content to let us live in a fantasy world, piloting
ships through outer space or saving princesses or what have you. But
even the Grand Theft Auto games rest in that area that is far away from
our normal thought processes to be considered close to reality (unless
you listen to Jack Thompson, but nobody listens to Jack Thompson.)
Burnout takes urges so close to reality and puts it at your finger tips.
No repair bills, no insurance premiums, no angry, road rage infested
Jerseyans with crossbows in their trunks – just an outlet of anger in
a digital form. This
is why I consider Burnout Revenge to be one of the best videogames of
this generation. The
more recent Burnout titles have been less about racing and more about
crashing. One of the car selection screens actually dares you to
"Choose Your Weapon," as if you were getting ready for some
kind of holy war fought with Ferraris (except there are no real
licenses, so you're really just driving knock-offs.) The basic gameplay
is much the same, with several different events including Grand Prixes
(a series of races), Eliminators (a variation on the
far, this seems just like last year's Burnout 3. At this point, it's
almost too easy to be cynical of Electronic Art's yearly sequel machine.
So what could they actually do to make it better? The changes
are, on paper, mostly subtle. In reality, they almost completely change
the way the game is played. |

has been fixed in Burnout Revenge. Slam
into almost any car and you'll send them flying forward, with nary a
scratch on your hide. This leads to some ridiculously fun takedown
possibilities, as flinging vehicles into your opponents becomes a major
factor in victory. Suddenly, your arsenal has expanded to every other
car on the road. This, naturally, is quite awesome. This
newfound power is also the key point in the new Traffic Check mode,
which simply challenges you to ram into as many cars as possible. Again,
this might sound simple, but it engages you to act completely opposite
of your instinct to dodge everything. Getting high scores also requires
checking cars into traffic in the other lane, something which actually
takes quite a lot of skill. Seeing as how you may feel like an invincible wave of mass destruction, you might think the game would be a bit too easy. To an extent, this is true – on average, you'll probably be crashing far less in Revenge than you did in Burnout 3. However, you can't go around slamming into cars without a fair bit of caution. All of those destroyed vehicles tend to cloud your vision, and if you're not careful, you can still slam into the back of an 18-wheeler or a bus – forces which still cause your mighty chariot to fall apart at the seams. The
courses themselves also prove more difficult, with more walls that seem
to appear out of nowhere, and the artificial intelligence is much more
aggressive than before. Whenever
you're taken down by an opponent, the camera pans away from your
smoldering wreckage and focuses on the bastard who caused your demise.
It smugly drives onward, not-so-subtly demanding that you should, in
fact, bring it on. After you respawn, your new foe is highlighted by a
red arrow. If you take him out, you get extra points. For a feature that
made it into the game's title, the Revenge factor is hardly very
important, but it does add a bit of personality to a game that's about
cold, lifeless racing machines. The
point system is another area where Burnout Revenge differs from its
predecessors. An onscreen meter drops continuously at a slow rate, but
being aggressive will quickly cause the meter to rise, advancing from
the ranks of "OK" to "Awesome". Your rank, combined
with the medal you receive, will determine how many stars you get when
you finish the face. Obtaining more stars is the only way to open new
events. The
other major overhaul affects the Crash mode. Originally, success
depended almost solely on hitting the multiplier icons before causing
pileups. This time, the game is a bit more strategic, as positioning
yourself for the best possible traffic jam takes a bit of foresight.
There are also plenty more opportunities to fling yourself off ramps and
send your car flying through the air, which dramatically slows down as
the force of gravity wails upon your car. While it's arguably better
designed than the Crash Mode from Burnout 3, it's missing some of the
simplicity, and the timing based start-up meter is unnecessary. There
are other little touches that enhance Burnout Revenge to make it stand
above its predecessors. In later levels, you can use a Crashbreaker
explosion after you've totaled yourself, potentially taking down all of
the cars in the area. All of the stages have multiple routes, allowing
for incredible replay value as you hunt for hidden shortcuts. There's
also a lot more bridges and jumps, with a heavy emphasis on staying
airborne. The first time you crush one of your opponents with a Vertical
Takedown is a stunningly glorious sight, one of which awards you with
one of many possible trophies. While
the graphics engine is essentially the same, you'll quickly notice that
the game is much shinier – perhaps the graphics programmers turned up
the sun reflections just a bit too high. Despite its overbearing
prevalence, it does look pretty damn cool. There's also a wider variety
in locales – one stage takes place on a Stalwart
fans may dislike the changes, and while it does make the game a bit
easier, I'd venture to say that it still makes the game more exciting.
With its extensive list of events and near unlimited replay value,
Burnout Revenge still maintains the visceral carnage that fans (and
angered commuters) everywhere have come to expect. - Kurt Kalata (October 3, 2005) |

Please Register or Log in to Remove this Advertisement! BY THERESA VARGAS June 18 at 9:56 AM The United States Patent and Trademark Office has canceled the Washington Redskins trademark registration, calling the football team's name "disparaging to Native Americans." The landmark case, which appeared before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, was filed on behalf of five Native Americans. It was the second time such a case was filed. "This victory was a long time coming and reflects the hard work of many attorneys at our firm," said lead attorney Jesse Witten, of Drinker Biddle & Reath. Federal trademark law does not permit registration of trademarks that "may disparage" individuals or groups or "bring them into contempt or disrepute." The ruling pertains to six different trademarks associated with the team, each containing the word "Redskin." "We are extraordinarily gratified to have prevailed in this case," Alfred Putnam Jr., the chairman of Drinker Biddle & Reath, said. "The dedication and professionalism of our attorneys and the determination of our clients have resulted in a milestone victory that will serve as an historic precedent."
I hear the term redneck and cracker all the time. Those aren't disparaging? This is just stupid. the ONLY reason this is an issue is because people are raised to be offended.
to be fair, no one names their trademark company redneck/cracker. i'm okay w/this actually. wanna remove their trademark b/c of this and it's not a new law created soley to screw the skin's fine this is the proper way to do it. i'm still stunned snyder didn't take the high road and just change the name as it gives a reason to have all the fans buy all new gear. No one is going to stop being a fan b/c they change the name, so he loses nothing. I just didn't want to see him forced into b/c of some anti pc campaign b/c the lib's found 10 people that found it offensive.
And this was my proposed solution all along...Snyder can keep the team name, nobody is forcing him to change anything, but he loses the patent rights to it. Now we can see what more important...the name, or profit.
So far this isn't over though he's already said he's appealing the decision. Sounds like he'll keep the name all the same anyways, at least that's what the report sounded like.
Redneck Rampage is a video game that was sold on the market. Cracker Jacks is a snack product with a white sailor as a mascot. What is interesting is that the NFL now has a very real issue with fake jersey manufacturers being given a green light to produce all the Redskins stuff they can sell.
Well, like i said...itll be years as this makes its way through the courts, and during an appeal, they still have protection on their trademarks. And as far as i can tell, this ruling only applies to the name itself, their other trademarks (logos, fonts, colors, etc), are still protected. If this ruling survives appeals, and Snyder still keeps the name, it will only affect things with the "Redskins" name actually on it (i.e. something with their logo will still be protected).
honestly I don't think the trademark was even really needed for this. As Bearstuff pointed out all teams suffer from their stuff being copied in China and sold aroun the world, and I doubt anyone is looking at opening a company called "redskins" that would be in competition w/an NFL football team and their clientel.

It was a week of upsets in college football as four top-10 teams and seven top-25 teams lost. It was the kind of week that offers a harsh reminder that once you think you know how this season is going to play out, it can all change as fast as a hit to Tim Tebow.
Miami is back? Not so fast. Ole Miss is a top-five team? Think again. Penn State is the class of the Big Ten? Doesn't look like it. Cal is finally for real? No chance.
How chaotic was Week 4?
- LSU needed a goal-line stand in the closing moments to defeat Mississippi State -- and still moved up three spots to No. 4.
- Virginia Tech, USC, Oklahoma and Ohio State all have one loss and they're back in the top 10, proving once again it's better to lose early than late.
- We're down to only 14 teams from BCS conferences who remain undefeated: Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Texas A&M from the Big 12; Cincinnati and South Florida from the Big East; Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin from the Big Ten; UCLA from the Pac-10; Florida, Alabama, Auburn and LSU from the SEC. The ACC has no one undefeated.
Solomon's Wisdom Top 10
Reminder: This poll is based solely on performance and does not reflect the overall quality of a team. The better the opponent a team beats, the higher you'll be ranked.
1. Alabama (4-0). As chaos engulfs college football, Alabama just takes care of business. The win over Virginia Tech gains more significance after the Hokies wiped out Miami.
2. Houston (3-0). The Cougars will undoubtedly slide in this poll as they get into Conference USA play, but wins over Oklahoma State and Texas Tech ought to count for a lot right now. If Houston goes undefeated, it deserves to be strongly considered for a BCS spot.
3. Boise State (4-0). The season-opening win over Oregon looks even better after the Ducks thumped Cal. Boise's win over Oregon is still better than any win Florida has.
4. Florida (4-0). The Gators took care of business against Kentucky. Now will Tebow be healthy for LSU on Oct. 10?
5. Texas (4-0). The Longhorns won't play their first ranked opponent until Oct. 17 against Oklahoma. We'll have to wait a little longer to form a better opinion of the Longhorns.
6. Virginia Tech (3-1). It's rare for me to put a one-loss team this high so early in the year. But the Hokies have throttled Miami, edged Nebraska and held their own in a loss to Alabama.
7. Iowa (4-0). Winning at Penn State is a nice accomplishment. The Hawkeyes defense looks for real.
8. Cincinnati (4-0). Slides a bit in the poll after struggling at times against Fresno State. The Bearcats' win over Oregon State takes a little hit after the Beavers lost to Arizona.
9. LSU (4-0). Great goal-line stand, but where's the offense? Are the Tigers' struggles in the run game a red flag for future problems?
10. USC (3-1). Normally an undefeated TCU team with wins over Clemson and Virginia would be good enough for my top-10. But those opponents aren't top-25 caliber teams this year. Meanwhile, the Trojans still have a win at Ohio State.

Q: Given the chaos this week, I imagine there were a lot of difficult picks.
"It really was. Even last week, you sort of had an idea of who were the good teams. Ole Miss is a classic example. Last week I probably would have had them fourth or fifth. But then they not only to lost to South Carolina, you have to take into account how they played before and how they looked. So I don't have Ole Miss in my poll. That was a hard decision. I think they'll get back up before it's over."
What We Learned in Week 4
1. Too much love can hurt you. So many times in Week 4 we saw how so much acclaim can bite a favored team. We live in such an instantaneous society -- hey, I'm part of it as well -- that produces too much love for teams too soon. Look no further than the two ACC teams from Florida. Florida State, the most baffling team in the country to figure out, seemed to "reemerge" in the national scene after whipping BYU on the road last week. Then the Seminoles lost Saturday at home to South Florida, which was without injured star QB Matt Grothe. Meanwhile, Miami was being told for 10 days that it was The U again. Then Virginia Tech reminded the Hurricanes the road to the ACC title still goes through Blacksburg. Miami QB Jacory Harris was only 9-of-25 for 150 yards. As the Hokies move into the easier portion of their schedule, they could still return to the national title race if some upsets happen in front of them. But there we go again with that love.
2. Never, ever trust a top-10 Jeff Tedford or Houston Nutt team. Jeff Tedford may have written his coaching obituary Saturday. Mind you, he's not going to be fired for having his sixth-ranked team lose 42-3 to Oregon. But Tedford is falling into the Tommy Bowden syndrome -- that is, monumental collapses that define a coaching career, even one as good as Tedford's. The loss was Tedford's most lopsided as Cal's coach and comes two years after the Bears rose to No. 2, only to lose five of their next six games. Meanwhile, the Rebels looked brain-dead in their loss to South Carolina. Why did it take so long for Dexter McCluster to become a factor? Jevan Snead is really supposed to be a first-round pick? How in the world do you call a timeout and then get a substitution penalty on your final fourth-down chance, as Ole Miss managed to do? Said Ole Miss offensive tackle Bradley Sowell of the limelight on Ole Miss: "I'm glad it's over with so everybody can stop talking about it and we can just play ball." I couldn't have said it any better about Ole Miss and Cal. Ole Miss is Ole Miss. Cal is Cal. Sometimes you just are who you are in life.
3. Versatility is the rage in the SEC. LSU's Chad Jones had an unbelievable 93-yard punt return for a touchdown. (Yeah, he shouldn't have fielded a bouncing punt inside his 10. But then we would have been deprived of one of the best returns in a long, long time.) Jones wasn't done. In the final minute, he leaped high to deflect away a goal-line pass that would have been a game-winning touchdown, and then Jones was in on the fourth-down stop. Over in Athens, Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green caught eight balls for 153 yards. And, oh yeah, he blocked Arizona State's potential go-ahead field goal try late in Georgia's 20-17 win. At this rate, we'll see Julio Jones running out of the Wildcat any week now.
4. Purdue's first-year coach has a lot to learn. If Notre Dame's Charlie Weis keeps his job after this season, he ought to thank Danny Hope and his mind-boggling use of a timeout on Notre Dame's winning final drive. The scenario: With less than a minute left, Notre Dame was out of timeouts and had just run for two yards on second-and-goal from the 4. Notre Dame was set to spike the ball to kill the clock, leaving themselves with one play to score. But Hope, Purdue's coach, called a stunning timeout with 39 seconds left. Notre Dame then scored. Hope justified the timeout by saying he wanted to save time for his offense to run three or four plays. That's not exactly a vote of confidence for your defense to make a stop. Whatever the reason, Weis was glad to take the charity, saying the timeout helped Notre Dame gather its thoughts for the right play call.
5. Case Keenum could be in New York for the Heisman presentation. I finally got to see Houston's quarterback for an extended period of time. He's really fun to watch. Plucky and cool are the words I'd use to describe him. Keenum drove Houston 95 yards in 16 plays for the winning touchdown, which he ran in on a designed quarterback draw. Houston did what BYU couldn't: Show that getting on the national map was no fluke. Houston's win over Oklahoma State got the Cougars attention, and then they backed it up by beating Texas Tech. Keenum didn't have his sharpest game. But he's a winner and the best quarterback you probably don't know much about.
Questions for Week 5
1. Will Tim Tebow be healthy? You'll get to hear this question in various forms for two weeks before the Florida-LSU game on Oct.10. Prepare yourself. It will drive you nuts. You'll be tired of being fed all Tebow, all the time. But the truth is this is the most significant question in college football this year because Tebow is not only the face of the sport, but the most valuable player on the No. 1 team in the country. Urban Meyer said today that Tebow was released this morning from a Kentucky hospital and confirmed he suffered a concussion. Florida's doctors will monitor Tebow to determine how much rest and recovery he needs. If the Gators have to turn to backup quarterback John Brantley, they would be installing a new offense in the middle of the season. Brantley is highly regarded, but he's a drop-back passer and doesn't fit into the single-wing package Tebow runs. There would be growing pains in changing the offense, just as there were when Meyer arrived in 2005 and had Chris Leak at quarterback. Florida's chances to repeat as national champs could be significantly damaged without a healthy Tebow.
2. What happens when Auburn hits the road? The Tigers took care of business in September by going 4-0, all at home. It was a nice way to cushion in Gene Chizik after all of the controversy over his hire. And to the Tigers' credit, they took advantage and have been impressive on offense. Now they're about to venture into SEC road play with back-to-back road trips to Tennessee and Arkansas. Auburn has lost six of its past seven road games, with the only win being the ugly 3-2 victory over Mississippi State last season. The jury remains out on Auburn, as evidenced by poll voters still keeping the Tigers out of the top 25.
3. Can Miami rebound vs. Oklahoma? As high as the Hurricanes felt last week, they're probably as low today after being whipped by Virginia Tech. There's no time to feel sorry for themselves, not with Oklahoma coming to Coral Gables this week. The winner remains in the national picture.
4. Is LSU the next top-5 team to fall? The Tigers go to Athens, where Georgia continues to find ways to win since losing to Oklahoma State in Week 1. LSU lost 52-38 at home to Georgia last season.
5. Will USC regain Pac-10 supremacy? The Trojans travel to Cal for a primetime game on ABC, which right about now must not be big Oregon fans. Matt Barkley returned to quarterback for USC yesterday. USC has to be willing to open its playbook to win the Pac-10. It's not enough to run the ball and play defense.

As you've probably observed, Big Brother 10 is off to some incredibly solid alliances that look to be sticking rather quickly.
The "Alliance of 8" responsible for Brian's eviction is now two four-person teams, with Dan, Jerry and Renny trying to dodge the crossfire.
In fact, Jerry seems to be an afterthought in all of this, someone they will probably keep around simply because he causes no real threat.
As the episode begins, Memphis is worried about being a target in the Big Brother 10 house and Dan continues his strategy of laying low.
However, with Keesha being named Big Brother 10 Head of Household this week, the focus moves immediately to Angie as a target.

Pryor, a senior from Overbrook, Kan., ranked 27th nationally in 2010 with 511 total kills. It was the second consecutive season Pryor was named to the All-Region Team. Pryor was also named to the Tachikara NAIA All-American Honorable Mention list.
Allen, a junior from Topeka, Kan., ranked 12th nationally in 2010 with 745 total digs.
"It's the first time our program has had someone go back-to-back," said head coach Kathy Allen. "I think that says a lot about what kind of player Brooke (Pryor) was during her time here. I wouldn't be surprised to see Brooke Allen back on this list next season."

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Sevierville man stands accused of being involved in two hit and run accidents before authorities caught up with him and he was charged with his fourth DUI, according to the Severville Police Dept.
In addition to the DUI, Joseph James Faircloth was charged with two counts each of Vehicular Assault and Leaving the Scene of an Injury Accident as well as a Violation of Implied Consent.
According to police reports, the 31 year-old was pulled over by a Pigeon Forge Police Officer investigating a hit and run on Collier Drive and Veterans Blvd. Faircloth reportedly admitting to hitting the other vehicle and that he had been drinking.
Police also connected Faircloth to another wreck on Ernest McMahan Road. The victim in that incident had to be rushed to the emergency room by ambulance.
The arresting officer also said Faircloth refused to submit to a field sobriety test and created a scene at the hospital, where he was taken for a blood test. He was then transported to the Sevier Co. Jail.

Keyhoe, Donald: The Flying Saucers Are Real v1. 9 Dec 07
I felt that I needed to do my part to expose the conspiracy! Who else would have designed the Amazon Kindle with buttons this big? Had to be aliens...
From Wikipedia: The Flying Saucers Are Real by Donald Keyhoe, investigates numerous encounters between USAF fighters, personnel, and other aircraft, and UFOs between 1947 and 1950. Keyhoe contended that the Air Force was actively investigating these cases of close encounter, with a policy of concealing their existence from the public until 1949. He stated that this policy was then replaced by one of cautious, progressive revelation. Keyhoe further stated that Earth had been visited by extraterrestrials for two centuries, with the frequency of these visits increasing sharply after the first atomic weapon test in 1945. Citing anecdotal evidence, he intimated the Air Force may have attained and adapted some aspect of the alien technology: its method of propulsion and perhaps its source of power. He believed the Air Force or the US Government would eventually reveal these technologies to the public when the Soviet Union was no longer a threat. The book cites a panoply of sources: newspapers, magazines, Air Force records and press statements, and personal interviews. It's written in a dramatic, narrative style reminiscent of mystery novels and spy thrillers (Keyhoe also wrote fiction in these genres) The book was a huge success and popularized many ideas in ufology that are still widely believed today. |

Museum Wiesbaden
Art fanciers with a passion for the expressionism cannot do without visiting the Wiesbaden Museum. The museum owns more than 100 works of the Russian painter Alexej von Jawlensky, which forms the most important Jawlensky collection in Europe. In addition to the works of Jawlensky, installations, objects, sculptures and paintings from the latter half of the 20th century form the focal points of the art collection. Moreover, this museum regularly organises noteworthy special exhibitions of international contemporary art.
With the reopening of the south wing in May 2013 a new presentation of the art of the 12th to the 19th century was opened to the public in the Museum Wiesbaden. Parallel to that, the "Naturhistorische Sammlungen" (natural history collections) opened with the new "Ästhetik der Natur - Aesthetics of Nature" permanent exhibition in the north wing. The natural science collection comprises not only geological and mineral exhibits, but also exhibits of vertebrates and botanical exhibits. After completion of the overall refurbishments, the building now offers a tour of a broad panorama of art to nature on a 7,000 square metre exhibition area.
Opening hours
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed: Mondays, 1st January, 1st May, 24th, 25th and 31st December.

Veryl Goodnight
Sculpting the American West
Displaying Your Art Art is completed by the viewer. Collectors become very creative when integrating sculpture into their lives, sometimes changing even the title of the sculpture to fit their needs.
Veryl's first monumental sculpture was of a longhorn cow and calf, "Old Maude." It was installed at the Haley Memorial Library in Midland, Texas in 1982. J. Evetts Haley, Sr. was the author of "Charles Goodnight - Cowman and Plainsman" and he describes Old Maude as having had "27 calves by actual count." Veryl has long wished to sculpt Colonel Goodnight's famous lead steer, Old Blue, and that desire came to fruition in the fall of 2010. The Haley Library added Old Blue to their collection. The working model of Old Maude and the new sculpture of Old Blue are shown here at the Haley Library with a painting by Tom Browning.

At first i really didn't like this tea. When i first opened the bag it immediately smelled like marijuana to me (maybe that's the roobios smell?). Then i put some of the leaves in my little infuser thing and the leaves were so small that they spilled out everywhere into my drink and i got leaves in my mouth ( i have a thing with texture, so this was a much bigger deal to me than just swallowing them down). The flavor was ok, it was fruity, and it had that dark green color which i actually thought was kind of neat, but it still smelled like marijuana to me, even after being steeped.
Over the next few days I attended to the other flavored teas i bought and got a little better at not making a mess with the leaves and figuring out how much per cup of tea.
Yesterday i made a large travel size mug of the swampwater and brought it to work with me and i have to say i was thoroughly impressed with it, of course the little leaves still sneak out of the infuser but it wasn't as much and i just tried to ignore it. I could really taste the passion fruit while it was warm and then towards the end of my shift my tea had turned cold and on the way home i had nothing else to drink so i drank it cold and it was even more delicious. I think this tea will be a wonderful addition to a summer picnic, on ice of course. I still plan to experiment with it. Also like i said in my bio im new to this, so im not even sure if im doing it right.

Brett Masi
Univ. of San Diego
Masi guided the Toreros to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance in 2011-12 as USD posted an 18-9 record on the year and advanced to the second round of the NCAAs. The season was highlighted by a 4-1 victory over No. 11 Texas on the road that marked the third-highest ranked team USD has ever defeated. Masi's squad climbed as high as No. 16 in the ITA rankings before finishing the year at No. 26, the team's highest final ranking since the 1993 squad finished at No. 21. In only his second year at USD in 2010-11, Masi led the Toreros to one of their finest seasons in decades as USD defeated Santa Clara 4-1 to claim the Toreros' first West Coast Conference title since 1990, as Masi took home WCC Coach of the Year honors, becoming the first USD coach to ever do so. In addition to being named ITA Southwest Region Coach of the Year, Masi guided USD to its first NCAA Championship appearance since the 2006 season, where the Toreros defeated No. 35 BYU 4-0 in the first round, before falling to eventual national champion USC in the second round. Under Masi, six Toreros earned All-WCC honors in 2011 and three players took home WCC Player of the Month honors, including conference player of the year Dean Jackson and conference freshman of the year Clarke Spinosa. Over the past two years, Masi has coached Jackson, who during the 2010-11 season tied the all-time USD career singles wins record with his 100th victory. Spinosa, one of Masi's first recruits at USD, tied the record for most singles wins by a freshman in Torero history (28) and set a new dual singles record by a freshman (21-3).
Also in 2011, Masi coached the Toreros to their highest Campbell/ITA ranking since 1990, reaching No. 20 and spending four-straight weeks in the Top-25 after opening the season with a No. 58 ranking. The Toreros put together their best team winning percentage (.731) since 1993 and closed out a perfect 10-0 dual match record at home. Masi guided the team to 12-consecutive dual match victories during the season, coming within two of the all-time USD record, while also leading the Toreros to six shutouts on the year, two shy of the USD record. Overall on the year, six of USD's seven losses came against teams ranked in the Campbell/ITA Top-10.
In his first season at the helm, Masi secured a record of 12-9, a final ITA ranking of #62, and a third place finish at the WCC Championships in April. The Toreros captured strong wins over UC Santa Barbara (6-1), UNLV (4-2), Cal Poly (5-2), and at the time, 51st-ranked UC Irvine (4-3). San Diego was led by All-WCC First Team selections, junior Dean Jackson and sophomore Nikola Bubnic, who each garnered 10+ singles victories in the dual campaign. Jackson finished the season with a record of 14-2, all at the No. 1 position, while taking home WCC Player of the Month honors for the month of February. Bubnic, the winnigest Torero in 2010, captured 30 singles victories for the combined fall and spring campaigns, a feat that has not been achieved since Jose Luis Noriega earned a mark of 31-4 in 1991.
Masi was named USD's new head men's tennis coach on May 21st, 2009. Masi came to USD from the University of Southern California where he had been with the USC men's tennis program since 2005, and had been Peter Smith's top assistant. The USC men's tennis program won the 2009 NCAA Men's Tennis Championship with a 4-1 win over #3 seed Ohio State. Masi took over for the late Tom Hagedorn who lost his courageous 18-month battle with Leukemia in late March 2009.
Prior to taking over at USD, Masi earned back-to-back honors as the ITA West Region Assistant Coach of the Year. He first won the award in 2007 following the Trojans' run to an 11-0 start and eventual 23-3 overall record with its trip to the NCAA Quarterfinals, and picked up his second accolade in 2008 after another USC run to the NCAA Quarterfinals.
The recently completed 2011 campaign marked his ninth season in collegiate tennis after spending his first two years as an assistant coach to the men's and women's programs at Santa Clara University. Masi shared the responsibilities of individual workouts, strength and conditioning, recruiting and summer camp instruction for both the Bronco men's and women's teams in 2003 and 2004. In addition to his coaching duties, Masi also served as the Club Sports Coordinator and Bronco Kidz All-Sports Camp Director for the Pat Malley Fitness and Recreation Department in Santa Clara during this time.
Masi was a four-year letterwinner at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he remains one of the program's all-time winningest players. He completed his career with a 60-29 singles record, playing among the top three singles positions since his freshman campaign. He earned his highest career singles ranking at No. 38 in 2000 and was named to the All-Big West Conference first team as a senior. In 2001, he earned his bachelor's degree in recreation administration from Cal Poly and earned his master's degree from Azusa Pacific in 2002.
In addition to coaching, Masi works as an instructor for Peter Smith at The Long Beach Tennis Academy and the Peter Smith Tennis Camps during the summer. He also spends time coaching and developing junior tennis players throughout Southern California.
Masi prepped at Riverside Poly High School, where he was a four-time Ivy League champion in both singles and doubles. Masi was born Nov. 2, 1978 in Riverside, Calif. He and his wife, Desiree, have two young children - a son, Jaxson, and daughter, Devyn.

Arrived right on time (DTV showed up an hour later to hook up ******). It is very (VERY) light and easy to lift and move. Crystal clear and crisp picture.... we were supposed to go out to dinner, howerer, we flipped through some channels and ended up sitting there for 3 hours.... on the stairs.... watching TV. Also, the sound is pretty impressive, steeing of 1-4 is suitable for early morning news, so as not to wake anyone.) At this price, SLAM DUNK!!!
very light to handle, made hanging on the wall very easy. very good picture and sound.
Great picture, great tech support and easy set up...
I ordered one & it arrived broken. They sent me another one & it was broken also.
I received the tv in a week and my husband took it right out of the box and hooked it up! I was leery about buying a tv online without seeing the picture, but I took the gamble and Im happy! I will definitely buy from Overstock again!
i did write yes when they asked me if i would recommend this to a friend. that is not entirely true because i wouldn't recommend this to a friend, but at the same time i wouldn't not recommend this to a friend. you feel me? it's really difficult to explain but it is very average. nothing special about it and it worked quite fine. all i have to say is buy it if you want, you didn't hear this from me

C&C 37 Centerboard
What do folks think about a mid-80's C&C 37 as a performance cruiser for the Chesapeake and perhaps east coast coastal cruising in the future? I came across a centerboard version which meets my need for sub 5' draft and the layout looks suitable for cruising. Anybody on the board have any experience with this model? How's it handle light air/heavy air. Being that C&C's were raced and would generally have a few crew, would this boat be any more difficult than any similarly sized boat for a couple to sail? I've been to the C&C owners sight but the 37 wasn't their most popular model and centerboard versions are particularly rare.
C&C 35's are pretty popular on the Chesapeake, but I haven't considered them because the deep draft conflicts with my gunkholing ambitions.
The centerboard 37 seems to get a pretty neat compromise with PHRF ratings around 114 while retaining a fairly shallow draft with the board up.
I know the boats have balsa cored hulls but so do many other of the boats that are highly recommended on these lists like Sabre's and others. Are there any other pro's or con's for C&C's in general or this specfic model?

Room Enough: America, Natural Liberty, and Consent in Locke's Second TreatiseJimmy Casas Klausenaffiliation not provided to SSRN Journal of Politics, Vol. 69, Issue 3, pp. 760-769, August 2007 Abstract: This essay scrutinizes political obligation in the Second Treatise by analyzing the natural liberty Locke attributes to children, savages, some foreigners, and other tacit consenters. Both natural liberty and the voluntarism of consent require certain conditions to be actualized, one of the most important of which is room enough: unoccupied space like that found in America in which it is possible to exit from the potentially coercive dilemmas of tacit consent and perhaps to originate a founding (express) consent. Insofar as consent and natural liberty rely on the availability of open space, though, Lockean liberalism justifies, maybe requires, settler colonialism.

He died as he lived Peacefully and alone Waited for the moment We left the room. Saw us all over the last days To say no more tears We can live life without him Remember over the years How can we not remember Our tad, was the best No fuss, gentle guiding Always there for us His funeral was a humanist Someone read our a rhyme I had written for Tad Made people cry Colour was the order For clothes to wear Not all black Like a crow he would say. A welsh choir sang Myfanwy, and The Rose Played classical music To take him home Afterwards people said Wonderful funeral what was it's name You did him proud Think we will have the same. Tad : Welsh word for father. Feeling the anger of losing my Tad, also recovering from openheart surgery, made me wistful.

Those Dancing Days Biography
Last updated: 04/09/2012 11:00:00 AM
Those Dancing Days are an indie pop band from Nacka, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. Most frequently compared to Northern Soul and 1960s era girl-groups, the band formed in 2005 while the members were all still in school. They are currently signed to Wichita Recordings. The band consists of five girls from Stockholm. Their name derives from the Led Zeppelin song "Dancing Days".
Two of the band members completed school as late as summer 2008, and they received a lot of publicity during 2007 including being featured in NME and on MTV2. They were also nominated for the Best Swedish Act prize at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007. The band has played many gigs in their native Sweden as well as in the United Kingdom and Germany.
They released a 5-track EP in Sweden before being signed by UK label Wichita Recordings, who released a self-titled single in October 2007 (described as "Blondie backed by the Attractions", and "The Slits rehearsing with Bow Wow Wow whilst breaking in a new drummer"), with a second single, "Hitten". Their debut full length album In Our Space Hero Suits was released on October 6, 2008, preceded by a single Home Sweet Home on September 29.
The band was chosen personally by Belle & Sebastian to perform at their second Bowlie Weekender festival presented by All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK in December 2010. A second album, Daydreams & Nightmares was released in 2011. The band made a number of festival appearances in the summer including Glastonbury finishing with Popaganda in Stockholm on the 27th August. Four days after this performance, the band announced on their website that the group would be 'put to bed for a while'. The same announcement revealed the final release will be the single "Help Me Close My Eyes".

I also have to wonder if the number of carries has caught up with him.
Cushing was surprising to me, but he was out for a lot of the year. I wonder if that had any effect on the numbers.
As far as Jonathan Joseph and Daniel Manner are concerned, we did get beat a lot deep. I think a true free safety would cure this problem.
It's one things to lower your head and run through the hole vs a LB and a completely different thing to do the same thing against a 300 lb DLineman. The line play this year fell off quite a bit from 11.

I get tons of questions from readers about mobile technology, so I figured it's time to start sharing those answers, and we're launching a new weekly podcast to do just that. Every Wednesday, I'll answer your questions about pretty much anything related to mobile technology: new gadgets, apps, Android, iOS, the upcoming BlackBerry 10 devices, tablets, phablets or anything. The questions are where you come in.
Since it's challenging to schedule a live show that fits everyone's schedule, this will be a recorded "call in" show. Just dial my Google Voice number, which is 262-KCTOFEL and leave a voicemail. If I pick your question, I'll play it back during the show and answer it as best I can.
If you're the shy types, you can also ping me with a question via email (email@example.com), Twitter (@kevinctofel), or Google+ (https://plus.google.com/+KevinTofel) and I'll read those on air. If you'd rather I didn't use your real name in the show, be sure to let me know.
Even if you don't have a specific question, I hope you'll join us for this little experiment, which we'll kick off with the premier episode on Wednesday, January 23rd. You can subscribe to the podcast via our RSS Feed through iTunes or via Stitcher Radio. And get your questions in before noon ET on Tuesday so I have time to do the show!

Quote of the day - "Well who thought it was a good idea to organise these two demonstrations on the same day? Surely it was obvious there would be problems" - random Brighton theatre-goer/by-stander
Yesterday's counter-protest against the March for England exceeded all expectations. Although the fascists did march they did so inside a mobile police kettle continuously surrounded and occasionally bombarded by counter-protestors. Their march route was cut short and for once the chant "Police protect the fascists" was 100% accurate.
Last year the police successfully kettled most of the anti-fascists, allowing the MfE free rein through the city. They took full advantage of the opportunity to hand out racist abuse and attack alternative looking types. Brighton anti-fascists were determined to avoid a repeat.
Aware that the cops plan was to push the march straight down the road from the railway station to the sea front, the anti-crowd was encouraged to spread themselves thinly along the route. This prevented a pre-emptive kettle.
The MfE were due to start their procession at midday, but due to the geography of the area no-one in the counter-demo had a direct view of their meet-up point at the station. A strange High-Noon quiet settled over the town centre as the counter-protest shuffled and waited, watching police movements for a clue as to what might happen. Numbers gradually built up, serenaded by the bizarrely soothing tones of dub from a punk- soundsytem.
For a while it looked as if the cops were going to throw the towel in and refuse to allow the MfE out of the station. At half-twelve jogging lines of cops and the arrival of horses let everyone know that the fash were on the move.
One eyewitness at the station told SchNEWS "From where they were mustered, they could only see a tiny part of the counter-demo, mainly the UAF contingent. They were very cocky. As soon as they turned the corner and saw the opposition their faces fell". By this point there were around 500 anti-fascists on the streets.
The nationalists had only mustered around 100, a third of what they had predicted. Yesterday SchNEWS reported that "there was little if any English Defence League insignia actually on display". Since then we've been told that EDL banners and an Essex Infidels flag were unfurled at the station. In reality this was a moot point as the main body of march consisted of known EDL faces, including virtually all of Brighton and Portsmouth EDL with the addition of various unsavoury characters such as Jeff Marsh of Casuals United. Despite the presence of a few token women and kids the march was overwhelmingly male, bald and fat.
It didn't take long after the march set off before the first few antis were in the road behind a banner. From then on the march became a rugby scrum as the cops used horses, truncheons and pepper spray to force the MfE through. Every time the cops broke through an anti-fascist line, another would form ten or twenty metres down the road.
The pressure only intensified as the police decided to abandon the planned high-profile route and try to smuggle the nationalists down the back-streets. Anti-fascists got ahead of the game and running around the side got in front of the march on Church St to build barricades. Fascists and police came under attack with bottles. It was at this point that some-one set a bin on fire, irritating everyone, right and left, with the acrid smoke.
What was totally remarkable was the level of solidarity for the counter-demo by folk from all walks of life in Brighton. There was no support for the MfE. Pensioners and kids shouted abuse at the fash. The UAF stood shoulder to shoulder with Antifa punks.
Eventually the MfE, numbering around a hundred ended up in their pre-prepared pen, – unfortunately for them so did almost the entire counter-demo. They then had to put up with two hours of being jeered at by the surrounding mob before cops rushed them back to the station to be dispersed. Their march was dogged every step of the way but as they were leaving the crowd was happy to let the cops rush them along. Anti fascists went on to enjoy a pint in the sunshine.
Despite the usual online japery the few EDL who tried to make a stand outside the cordon were quickly seen off. Joel Titus, self proclaimed leader of the EDLs youth wing was spotted skulking with a crew of half-wits in the Marlborough pub, one of the few bars that would serve them on the day. A handful of anti-fascists were able to send them packing. Virtually no other pubs would serve the MfE and they failed to maintain a presence in town after they were dispersed.
Is this the end of the March for England in Brighton? Watch this space!
Final word to Brighton Anti-fascists "Brighton showed the racists today that their brand of hatred isn't welcome in our city. Brighton has always historically seen off the fascists, in the the thirties , the seventies and now today. Big thanks to all who turned out! - Up the punks!"

Good Points John Thaw plays a good Tom Oakley. Bad Points The children's acting is, to be blunt, about as convincing as Flash Gordon (probably why the film focused on Tom and William's relationship). To be fair most children are OK, but Nick Robinson (played William Beech), who just so happened to be the one we see most of, had facial expressions and voice acting which were often amusing because they were so bad. Why they chose him is beyond me. Significant portions of the book were skipped and… Read Full Review

This is a striking, moving, thought provoking film. It's good family entertainment and at the same time makes you think very hard about the issues involved. John Thaw's performance is touching and it is a shame he is no longer with us. Some of the characters are a little underdeveloped, but none of them are essential to the plot. A very moving story with a satisfying ending… Read Full Review

Goodnight Mr Tom Film Review
The film goodnight Mr. Tom is based around the evacuation of World War Two. In the film, a young, meek boy of 9 years old called William Beach gets evacuated from London, to the countryside. He gets partnered with a cantankerous elderly widower named Tom Oakley. The two characters naturally avoid each other, but soon develop warm affectionate feelings towards one another when Tom realizes Williams' background. It's an amalgam of adventure, and sadness which combines…

Manufacturer: Duett
Model: Fidelio Dressage Saddle
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought this second hand for $800.
Likes: I live the leather of this saddle. The tree construction is also remarkable as it is made for wider horses. The part that sits on the horse's back is soft and cushy. My horse moves beautifully in this saddle, as his shoulders are free to extend and reach. He is a wide TB with a fair and growing top line.
Dislikes: This saddle features the extra deep seat and I don't like the feeling of being "locked in" or "confined". I am a x-country rider first and foremost, and the twist is a medium rather than a narrow. I don't like not feeling him under me.
Quality: Construction and quality for the price are pretty good. Nice leather, solid stitching--a really pretty saddle.
Summary: If the seat wasn't so deep, I would keep it. My horse loves it, but I will continue looking until I am satisfied for both me and my horse.

Port Angeles man pleads guilty to stolen car possession
By Jeremy Schwartz
Peninsula Daily News
Joshua Michael Wilson, 31, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of possession of a stolen motor vehicle and one count of second-degree identity theft.
He was sentenced to 3.75 months in prison, with 12 months of community service.
Wilson also will pay $1,300 in court fees and victim restitution, with further restitution to be determined at a court hearing in December, according to documents filed in Clallam County Superior Court.
The charges stem from Wilson's involvement in the theft of two cars reported stolen in August.
Seeking second man
The Clallam County Sheriff's Office is still seeking a second man thought to be involved in the thefts who fled from a deputy when Wilson was arrested Aug. 26, said Sgt. John Keegan with the Sheriff's Office.
"I don't think that we've identified who that individual is yet," Keegan said Saturday.
"We've narrowed it down to a couple of different people."
Sheriff's investigators believe the first stolen car, a 1992 red Honda sedan, was driven to Graysmarsh Farm in Sequim and abandoned in the early morning hours of Aug. 26.
The Honda had been reported stolen the morning of Aug. 25 from a home on Crescent Beach Road about 37 miles to the west.
The Honda was found wrecked along Holland Road about a mile from Graysmarsh Farm.
That same morning, a Ford Windstar minivan was stolen from a farm employee living near the farm and later found in the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter at 2411 Kolonels Way, Port Angeles, according to sheriff's deputies.
Wilson was arrested in the parking lot after a brief foot chase in which a second man, described as a "person of interest" in the car thefts, escaped.
Newly purchased socks, the credit card stolen from the Graysmarsh Farm employee and a receipt for the socks with a matching credit card number were found in the van after Wilson was arrested, deputies said.
Reporter Jeremy Schwartz can be reached at 360-452-2345, ext. 5074, or at email@example.com.

PANGAEA: EDEN'S CHILDREN THOMAS E. JOHNSON ISBN: 9780578023229 May, 2009 Night to Dawn Books www.bloodredshadows.com Paperback $13.95 158 pages Science Fiction Rating: 3 cups
Desree is the ultimate "Daughter of the Forest." Although only in her teens, she knows and understands the jungle and all its subtle moods and nuances. Her superior strength and agility combined with this knowledge allows her to thrive in the fierce wilderness filled with savage beasts and creatures.
Zanthor Than and Dejah Manth, Desree's parents, were descendants of the ancient branch of First Ones who chose to live in the wild and commune with nature rather than stay with the main branch of First One scientists who eventually departed the planet. They passed along their love of nature and adventure to their daughter.
When two German scientists find a portal back to the prehistoric past, they cannot resist the temptation to go and explore. After meeting the keeper of the ancient one's treasure trove, they quickly learn his secrets and kill him. They flee the land only to return with a small group of soldiers in order to take the treasure. A battle ensues over the treasure involving the soldiers, Desree and her parents, and a vast array of brutal creatures and animals.
The characters in the story were well written and very vivid. You knew and understood the main characters' strengths and motivations, and even found yourself liking some of the supporting animalistic characters. The story contained a lot of violent action scenes with bloody to-the-death fights with prehistoric beasts. The presence of advanced technology wars with such a primitive setting. This book is a sequel to Pangaea: Eden's Planet.

Don't have any set dates at this time, but I'm even more flexible than you, since I can be where ever I want to be, whenever I can get there. Plan at this point is to head across in 2 weeks to Florida, mess about a bit till the crew has to go back to AK, then start heading north by mid May. Figuring I should be parking at Cam's dockstep about mid June (I wanna watch him push the magic button). My plans though, are completely open. Nowhere I have to be, so I'll just be where I want to be.

Free, is the heart, that lives not, in fear.
Full, is the spirit, that thinks not, of falling.
True, is the soul, that hesitates not, to give.
Alive, is the one, that believes, in love.
